“Shiny Objects” by ShoutHouse is an impressive multi-year project that brings together the talents of 18 musicians from around the world. Conceived from audio recordings sent in by these diverse artists in July 2020, the track boasts an epic, orchestral feel infused with folk, rock, and nu jazz influences. Its thought-provoking lyrics draw inspiration from misinformation on social media and the rise of conspiracy theories.
The beauty of “Shiny Objects” lies in the collaborative efforts of musicians hailing from various corners of the globe. From a cellist in Germany to a harpist in Florida, this global amalgamation creates a unified musical fusion that transcends borders.
Layered with skillful production by Jack Gulielmetti, the track’s instrumental stems shine brightly, while Hannah Zazzaro’s powerful vocals add depth and emotion to the composition. A standout saxophone solo by Connell Thompson further enriches the musical experience, leaving a lasting impression on the listener.
